2/10 Poor

This Hotel was breaching Electricity; Slips and trips; and HEALTH AND SAFETY Regulation and put our lives at risk. I never come a cross or heard of this kind of behaviour putting customers lives at risk to save few pence or to increase profit. Think not twice, hundred time before you put customers lives at risk like this... I only can say Group CEO and the Manager: Joseph should put themself in customer's (ours) shoes to understand is it worth killing customers for few pence of profit or cost cutting!!! I tried to call Expedia but not managed to speak to anyone before all my money run out from the mobile. That's worse! When we went to get something to eat before we leave the hotel, I mentioned to my husband it smell like a sewage near our room and when we checked there were some places near the footpath overflowing sewage mixed water outside from the drainages..Spoken to the Group CEO, Mr M I M Nizar and he was trying to convince us that this hotel is in a jungle and NOT in the city of Polonnaruwa!!! According to the Group CEO, as a customer, we should expect animal droppings on the bed as well as dead animals on the floor and the bathroom area including no lights and be able to clean it ourself without making any fuss!!! I mentioned that I am a patient with heart, diabetic and several other illnesses therefore any animal bit could be very dangerous for me. He laughed say that's nothing to worry about! This is NOT A FIVE STAR HOTEL and MAY BE EVEN HELL IS BETTER THAN THIS...

Lovely relaxing stay in beautiful surroundings
Having just spent 5 nights at this hotel we can definitely recommend it. It was ideally placed for our self organised tour of Sri Lanka and, from here, we visited the iconic sites of Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa, Dambulla and the fabulous Hurulu national park where we saw many elephants. Our lakeside cottage at the hotel was very quaint and we loved sitting on the decking watching the monkeys and chipmunks running around. Staff at the hotel are very welcoming and the pool area is lovely. The hotel does get frequented by coach parties and we enjoyed the breakfast and evening buffets alongside quieter a la carte dinners on the outside terrace on the nights when there were fewer guests

Staff were friendly and went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable. The location itself was serene with a wonderful view of the lake from the observation deck. Food was amazing with a wide choice of both local and international cuisine.

8/10 Very Good

Not as good as it could have been..
A little over-priced - gym was locked (and surrounded by cardboard boxes) [so went for a run down the road, which was actually much better); dinner was good, breakfast was average (lots of cooked to order items - good; but no real juice and poor selection of bread and fruit). Currently they are building several new apartments, but the building work was not intrusive. There was a wedding on the Saturday - loud music made the pool unusable - but could not be heard from the room. And if I am being really picky - we had 2 high quality towels each on the first night, which we would have been happy to keep for another day, but they got changed when the room was cleaned and replaced with one each of a smaller less fluffy one... only a small thing - but irritating nonetheless.

Lovely hotel setting sounded by forest trees.
The hotel is set amongst trees and lawns over looking the lake at Giratale. We had a lovely big room next to the pool. Many of the rooms are high up on the hill. There was a tree growing in the semi open air bathroom. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Roy the manager was more than helpful in organising tours to ancient cities and the elephant safari. We would definitely recommend and stay again.

4/10 Fair

Really disappointing - terrible food
Very disappointed with our stay at Deer Park. Whilst the setting itself is nice, each building is very close to the next, taking away any feeling of space. The real let-down though was the food situation. Breakfast was the worst we experienced in Sri Lanka in terms of quality and taste. Dinner was a buffet which looked like it had been left out for weeks containing un-appetising food. We order al-la-carte in the end, and half of that appeared to have been assembled for us from the buffet. It would have been OK if there were alternate options anywhere in the vicinity, but you're stuck with just the hotel options food wise. Also, the driver arranged by the hotel wasn't great - a very tired old car and he tried to take us to every shop under the sun on our last day with him...

Beautiful Setting, Attentive Service
It was lovely. Low season is in May and hardly any guests. Actually an ideal time to visit as you get undivided attention. If it was full, I would not stay there as there are lots of rooms and it has a slightly institutional feel. Definitely not a retreat in the woods, though that is the setting.

I think Deer Park can easily qualify as one of the best hotels in Sri Lanka. Great property and well maintained. Lovely view and cottages. You will need a car to get there and a short drive away to the city.

Deer Park ,Giritale - excellent mid-level stays
Attractive lay-out, attentive service, 'cool' bathroom, generally comfortable and smooth running; bar food and drink at night on the terrace, buffet breakfast and the outdoor swimming pools especially good. The food was real food (local fruit yummy!) and the staff were very helpful and always kind. The price and location are right for above average but not extravagant hotelling - just right for us. Hotels.com did a great job for us. J&C Australia.
